Archives are materials created or received by a person, family, or organization that are preserved because of the enduring value of the information they contain.
Collections are groups of materials assembled by a person, family, organization, or repository. They may be divided hierarchically into series, groupings, and files.
Containers are anything that houses or stores archival materials. A container might be a standard size archival box, an oversize box, a broadside folder, or a media case.
Digital records are born-digital and digitized materials that are available online.
Collection guides, also called finding aids or descriptive guides, are tools that help researchers find information in manuscript or archival collections and include information on the origin, extent, dates, contents, and subjects for the collection.
Repositories are institutions that hold archival materials.
Name records are the people, families, and organizations that create archival materials.
Subject records are topics, places, and genres used to describe the context and content of archival materials.
